As one correspondent told, the printer port also can be used with a simple printer cord, if ones network is limited to a computer and the printer.
The other serial port, the modem port, can only be used in connection with the 360, if AppleTalk is turned of. There are two sorts of parallel port on the 360. One of them fits a 25 pin SCSI plug, but I do not have a cord with 25 pin plugs in both ends, so I can not test, whether this option really is available for SCSI Macs. Before I invest in such a cord, I would very much like to get information confirming, that such a solution will work. It certainly would make a few things easier for me. The other parallel port is for connection with Wintel type computers. Klaus PS: Digging my memory, but not my shelf with the manuals, makes me come up with something about the 25 pin SCSI port: It is intended for the connection of a SCSI disk to the 360, so that the 360 can have a much larger number of fonts ready without the downloading before each print session slowing down the print process. The 360 has 32 or so of the most common fonts stored in its ROM. All other fonts, also the music fonts, have to be downloaded to the RAM of the printer every time it has been turned off. That is: if there is no SCSI disk attached to the printer. _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
